E: 31/12 4pm Win a Seven-night Trip to The Azores For Two (Gleam)
Answer - São Miguel
The experience
The largest of the Azores, the island of São Miguel is alive with volcanic wonders and emerald crater lakes. It’s also home to Europe’s oldest and westernmost tea estate: the Chá Gorreana plantation, where visitors can watch leaves being picked by hand. The winner and their guest will spend the week in the island’s vibrant capital, Ponta Delgada, with Sunvil offering readers the chance to win a seven-night stay at the Hotel Marina Atlântico. The property overlooks the city’s bustling harbour, the heart of island life and a gateway to superb whale- and dolphin-spotting opportunities. There’s more to be discovered inland, from hiking trails and natural hot pools to delicious local cheeses ripe for tasting. Sunvil knows the islands inside out, having spent over 30 years crafting tailor-made Azorean holidays — each a celebration of local culture, nature and heritage.
The prize
The winner and their guest will enjoy seven nights in a standard double or twin room at the Hotel Marina Atlântico in Ponta Delgada, including return flights from London via Lisbon and airport transfers. The stay includes daily breakfasts and a full-day guided excursion to Furnas, famed for its natural hot springs and botanical garden. The prize is valid for travel from 1 January to 30 April 2026 and 1 November to 20 December 2026, subject to availability.
